INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND SAFETY WARNINGS

EN

KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT

Keep the Tent away from sources of heat and open flames. Please do not place any sources of heat directly under the roof because the materials can melt at high temperatures.

PROTECT FROM STRONG WINDS

The GYBE Event Tent as well as the Humanity Tent should not be used at wind speeds over 5 Beaufort (21 knots / 24 mph). The tent can catch wind even without having the side panels in place. With winds in excess of 13 mph, water- and sandbags do not offer sufficient weight. Tent pegs or stakes must be used. (Stakes are not included). In order to prevent the tent from being moved by gusts of wind, place at least one side panel on the wall facing the wind. That way the wind won‘t be able to enter the tent.

→ GYBE does not accept any liability for improper use of GYBE products.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

STORE IN A DRY PLACE

Never store the tent when it is wet. Be sure the tent is stored dry between 0 – 30 °C. (32 – 90° F.).

CLEAN CAREFULLY

Rough, dry dirt is best removed with a fine hand brush or a wet cloth. Crusted residues with sharp edges can damage the tent fabric. The materials should only be cleaned with clear water or with highly diluted detergent. Handle printed materials especially carefully. If you have any doubts, check on an inconspicuous spot if the cleaning agent reacts corrosively with the tent surface. Some of the tent materials are coated with water-resistant and flame-retardant layers. Strong scrubbing or solvent-containing cleaning agents can ruin these layers!

SETTING UP YOUR EVENT TENT

1

2

Remove the tent from the transport backpack. Unfold the rolled-up tent just once in the middle.

Now fully unroll in both directions the full-length part of the inflatable structure, which has just been revealed.

3 Close all deflation valves (3a) and one of the inflation valves, which you will find on the underside of the strut.

A

B

Now fill the tent with either an electric or hand pump, using the remaining inflation valve (3b). Please make sure that the pump tube is firmly attached, and that it does not get twisted.

ATTENTION Once the strut has been filled, the inflation valve must always be closed with the attached plug. Further, be sure not to let the internal pressure of the strut exceed 6 psi (0.4 bar). The ideal pressure for the strut is between 4 and 5 psi (0.25 and 0.35 bar).

5

The strut takes its final form on its own once the air is rushing in. Roll out the remaining strut as indicated in the illustration.

Fill the unrolled strut using the inflation valve at the end of the foot. It can be found on the underside.

As before, check that all deflation valves are closed.

6

7

Roll out the last remaining strut and make sure that all deflation valves are closed. Pump up the strut through the inflation valve at the end of the foot.

8

Soon the tent will begin to stand up by itself. With some gentle lifting, the tent will be guided to its final form.

Now you can attach the guy ropes (→ page 29), side panels (→ page 24), and water- or sandbags (→ page 25) as needed. 21

SETTING UP YOUR HUMANITY TENT

2

Remove your tent from the transport backpack. Unfold the rolled-up tent just once in the middle.

Fully unroll all parts of the support structure in every direction.

A

A 3 Close all deflation valves (3a). Then flip the tent over, so that the roof is facing up.

22

4 Turn the inflation valve (4a) so that it is accessible. Fasten a water- or sandbag to the foot of the tent where you find the inflation valve. (Attaching water- or sandbags: → page 25)

SETTING UP YOUR HUMANITY TENT

EN

ATTENTION Be sure not to let the internal pressure of the strut exceed 6 psi (0.4 bar). Tip: The ideal pressure for the strut is between 4 and 5 psi (0.25 and 0.35 bar). The overpressure release valve is a supplemental backup safety feature. If the pressure in the strut is too high, air will escape through this valve.

5 Before inflating the tent, be sure to open the cap on the overpressure release valve (5a).

6

When inflating the tent, be mindful of the overpressure release valve. If air is escaping, you should reduce the rate of inflowing air.

7

Attach the compressed air hose to the inflation valve.

With some gentle lifting, the tent will be guided to its final form.

Regardless of the speed of inflation, the tent will begin to stand up by itself.

Finally, close the overpressure release valve.

8

Now you can attach the guy ropes (→ page 29), side panels (→ page 24), and water- or sandbags (→ page 25) as needed. 23

ATTACHING SIDE PANELS

A

A

2

1 Spread out the side panel parallel to the tent. The starting point of the zipper is always located on the left edge of a side panel.

While pulling the zipper up, please be sure that the leading edge of the side panel is guided by hand (2a), in order to ensure a problem-free zip-up.

The starting point of the tent-side zipper is just under the roof panel, and has to be pulled up a bit with the left hand (1a).

A A 3 The beltstraps on the lower part of the panel are intended to prevent the zipper from being forced open by strong winds. Pull the beltstrap through the square-shaped metal ring on the tent foot, and fasten it to the side panel (3a). The beltstraps should be pulled to the point of a light tension.

24

4 For strong winds, the side panels need to be fixed to the ground. Use tent pegs, placing them through the loops (4a) found on the bottom edge of the side panel. (Tent pegs are not included) Please be sure that the pegs are placed deeply and angled, so that they can withstand a greater load.

ATTACHING WATER- / SANDBAGS

EN

A

2

The filled water- or sandbags are placed on the ground or floor. Make sure that the zipper of the sandbag, or the valve of the waterbag, is facing up.

Place the tent foot roundly on the water- or sandbag. While doing so, pull the soft shackle upward and through the eyelet on the tent foot.

Prepare the connectors (soft shackle 1a) as indicated in the illustration.

3 Now slip the loop of the soft shackle over the plastic ball. A

The loops of the soft shackles will pull tight under the weight, keeping a tight hold on the plastic ball (3a).

ATTACHING FUSION PANELS

A

1

2

For attaching the Fusion Panels, two tents are to be placed next to each other at about 6.5 feet distance.

Lay out the Fusion Panel next to the tents. The starting point of the zipper is always located on the left edge of a Fusion Panel.

One of the tents should already be firmly fastened to the ground, for instance with the water- or sandbags as described on → page 9.

The starting point of the tent-side zipper is just under the roof panel, and has to be pulled up a bit with the left hand (2a).

A

3 Pull the zipper around to the lower right corner and fasten it at both corners with the beltstraps.

4 Now place the second tent as close as possible to the first one. Attach the Fusion Panel, starting once again from the lower left side (4a). Fasten the corners with the beltstraps.

26

ATTACHING FUSION PANELS

5 Fasten the tent feet of the second tent to the ground using the water- or sandbags. Tip: If you want to set up the Fusion Panel without any wrinkles, you need to increase the tension between the tents, perhaps using the guy ropes provided.

NOTES FOR OUTDOOR USE

In order to prevent the tent from being moved by gusts of wind, place at least one side panel on the wall facing the wind. That way the wind won‘t be able to enter the tent.

WARNING The GYBE Event Tent, as well as the Humanity Tent can catch wind even without having the side panels in place. At wind speeds of 4 Beaufort (15 knots / 13 mph), water- and sandbags do not offer sufficient weight. Tent pegs or stakes must be used.* For outdoor use, be sure the tent always has solid footing.

28

At wind speeds over 5 Beaufort (21 knots / 24 mph) the tent must no longer be used!

EN

ATTACHING GUY ROPES

In order to secure the tent against wind loads, it is necessary to fasten it with guy ropes.

The highest level of stability is attained when the guy ropes are aligned with the diagonally opposite tent feet.*

Keep the angle relatively small, so that the point of fastening is as far as possible from the tent foot.

* (Stakes are not included).

For taking the tent down, open the velcro strap at one of the lower release valves (1a), so that the valve plug is accessible.

Open the deflation valve (1a). The strut will immediately begin to deflate. Repeat this procedure with the other two strut elements, until the tent has completely deflated.

Now turn the tent upside down, so that the roof is facing down and the valves up.

Roll the tent together starting from the feet and working towards the center.

Open the four deflation valves nearest the crosspoint (3a).

As you go, the air escapes through the opened deflation valves in the middle.
